Trying to make my way through the achievements/trophy's for this game. Most are pretty simple but a few are vague as to what is required exactly.
Anyone got tips? Etc like can you simulate or change difficulty late to still acquire the trophy?

I've just won 3 consecutive grand finals in a career rookie mode on medium and still didn't get the 3 peat trophy. I think simulating or being suspended caused me to miss but not sure or coz I started medium difficulty halfway through 1St season.

Also kicked an 80 metre goal in same mode and didn't trigger the achievement for kicking 60m goal. Assume this trophy is not be a pro compatible.

Found another forum. People their are saying it's glitched those two in particular.

Just about ready to put this game down until the next patch.

This game kind of sucks.

By which I mean it's completely unplayable.

Sigh.

completely ridiculous statement and insulting to someone who has been playing it and mastering the skills over time, such as timing marks by timing the bump and positioning ..

is it a little buggy, yes. absolutely.

Unplayable was an exaggeration.

But it's not good. The best available AFL game, but there's no competition.
 
Whilst playing today I noticed a few more things
95% of the time I'm handballing more than I'm kicking because the animation for kicking takes too long for a clearance kick
I feel like they should be able to throw it on their boot a lot quicker than what they do because otherwise we're forced to handball or get tackled. On hard you can do it but rarely and on legend you get tackled instantly which is why the kicking animation needs to be quicker
Would work well if it was similar to Live 1

The man on man always annoys me. Feels like 90's football but I guess it would be pretty difficult to get the movement around the grounds right. Like switching to loose players and what not
Big Ant were close, however the game has changed so much since then

Another issue
Why can't we handball as we're getting bumped or tackled? That's a massive oversight and needs to be fixed
A bump should not stop a disposal and you should be able to get a handball or a kick out or as you're getting tackled if you press it at the right time it should still dispose of the footy whether it's a messy disposal or not
The bump renders your user player useless for a good second or two which then allows the AI or opposition in general then lay a secondary tackle which usually leads to holding the ball as you've had prior.

I'm still enjoying the game especially now that I'm playing on Legend and it's usually a close game but I feel like it could be so much better with a few fixes
I get the impression that Wicked Witch aren't all that crazy about Footy so their knowledge of the game isn't quite as good as Big Ants or Ross' in particular
They've done a few things really well, but some things just seem like there's a lack of knowledge behind the development
Especially with the way the game is played in terms of man to man football. The tactics are pretty much irrelivent other than the kick in tactics

Would be great if Big Ant somehow worked with Wicked Witch to represent modern football
Even if it didn't necessarily mean they were developing the game, but somehow giving Wicked Witch some advice/guidance/direction in the way they develop the game
Obviously something like this isn't going to happen but gee it would be great
 
It's possible to break up the zone and man on man but it's up to the player to steer the AI. A handball or two to players running by or over the top and things really open up. It is still a fair way from perfect or even accurate, but it is there. Opposition players leave their man to shut your movement down, players stream forward, and bobs your uncle.

Had a game just before that I won by the skin of my teeth. Was down by 20 after the first quarter, and had to over come a 30 point deficit at the end of the third quarter to win........ By the power of grey skull........... I won by 7 points :D. It wasn't looking great but with 5 minutes to go I kicked on (built an 18 point lead) and managed to hold on in the end.

My new season percentage started off on a flyer - 777% (a 150 point win helped!). It's down to the 200's after my last 2 matches.
 
Stats lay out is horrible and the sort button that is supposed to show from most to least doesn't work properly.

The biggest let down is not league leaders. You can only search via individual teams which in my opinion sucks.

You can't view the Coleman race through out the year, there is no stats for meters gained or intercept marks and the disposal efficiency is useless as everyone goes at 100% bar a few of your own players

Another bug bare of mine is the best on field is awarded like a podium finish, 1 2 3 not the classic 3 2 1 as in the afl way and if they are going to show votes through the season they should show a running tally leaderboard.

Also when ive had a player win the Brownlow they never win the best and fairest for the club.

Game is lacking big time when it comes to stats potential. No all Australian team announced at the end of the year like in nba games do all star and being that its a game I thought including the state representative selection and game reflective on the season would have been a nice touch.

Find it interesting there face book page has come to a standstill no posts by them no replies to comments and now no one even really commenting either

I think the biggest mistake is that they mentioned they were taking the best parts from Live and Live 2
The thing is, there was no good part about Live 2. So whatever they've tried to replicate (like career mode for example) it's failed miserably yet again
It needed to focus on playing like Live 1 with less tackling, harder AI difficulty and more tactics

Not true at all

Ever noticed the handball lock on that enables you to get quick hands out and string together good passages of play ? That's from Live 2 as is the way players bump off each other when they collide around the football
 
Anyone asks WW when the 2nd patch is due? Must be close.

Before everyone replies with It's not FIFA no shit I'm not asking about new features and upgrades just the usual bug fix patch.

really???

i think what it means is that different people might be looking for a very narrow angle on what an AFL game should be like and good luck to the gaming company that can please everyone..

i've been playing it a fair bit and i kinda like it now, though there are some very annoying bugs and things that need improving and commentary errors, there are also some quite impressive features considering the depth of AFL as a game and the amount of moves that can be programmed into animations.

by the way i came into Evolution after being a one-eyed AFL Live 1 fanatic and complete skeptic of this new game. They seem to have learnt a lot from analysing Live 1 and added some of their own cool new features that i enjoy, so it feels a bit like AFL Live 1 at times and at other times it feels new and then in the forward line running to goal it feels like AFL Live 2, but it's still enjoyable. I see a lot of potential, but i think a lot of money has to go into it for it to reach very high standards of sports gaming and whoever is responsible for investing in the game, i hope they realise that future investment is very important.

Had a game in my individual player career. Didn't get off to the best start and took until after half time to really get my mojo going. It was a close narow biting win.

Returned to my coach career for the first time in ages. And my old foe in Sydney was waiting, they got the jump on me and were well in control in the first half. Buddy started off slow (2 goals in the first half) but finished strong with 7. Luke Parker, Tippet and Rohan were pests kicking goal after goal from beyond the 50m line. I wasn't used to controlling a full team again so it took some time to get used to. Got into the groove properly in the third quarter, to the point where I was 18 points in front, then they kicked away and I was down by 13 going into the final quarter. Traded goals for a bit, I kicked away... they came storming home. Scores level with 2 minutes to go and Roughead was the difference maker (finished with 10 goals!), kicked the goal that would win Hawthorn the game.... not from a set shot but from a bit of a running play.

I noticed a few things during the game, once again the replacing players bug happened (eg: score a goal as Hodge in game....... replay shows Gunston kicking the goal).

The AI skidded the ball through for a behind (it went through the left hand side) yet it was called as a goal. Needed a score review big time lol.

I stripped a player of the ball just by running into him ? It was weird, I was going for a tackle and expected the "too high" call to happen, yet as I ran into the opposition player I continued to run with the ball now in my hands.

I love when the ball skids on the ground in the right direction, I kicked an accidental goal, after taking the ball for a run in the center square, booted it, it bounced outside of the goal square and through the goal :D.
